Description
Golden-crusted, tender-centered, and simple to make, this Easy Gluten‑Free Bread delivers warm, sliceable loaf goodness without any fuss or wheat.
Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten‑free all‑purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum)
- 2 tsp instant yeast
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together warm water, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and eggs.
- In a separate bowl, mix flour blend, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
- Pour dry ingredients into wet and stir until fully combined—dough will resemble thick cake batter.
- Spoon dough into a greased loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Cover and let rise in a warm spot for 30–40 minutes, until noticeably puffy.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake loaf for 35–40 minutes, until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
- Let cool in pan 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Serve warm with butter, honey, fruit preserves, or olive oil and sea salt.
- Pairs beautifully with soups, scrambled eggs, salads, or cheese boards.
- Great for sandwiches, garlic toast, or homemade croutons.
- Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 days; toast to refresh.
- Freeze slices with parchment between them, and thaw or toast directly from frozen.
- Reheat loaf in a 300°F oven for about 10 minutes to revive freshness.
- Use flax eggs as a binder alternative for an egg-free version.
- Stir in seeds or nuts before baking for added texture and flavor.
- Ensure yeast is fresh and dough is fully mixed and risen to avoid gummy texture.
- Fully baked when crust is golden and internal temperature reaches 205–210°F (96–99°C).
